Sweet deal man, that two tone and wheel set make that thing look bigger then it really is. Almost thought I was looking at a road runner. Great combo!

That's a serious boat man !!! 18 feet of inboard fun is enough for me. Land can come cheap around here, but the taxes can bite you real quick. A good friend of mine owns 20 acres out in the middle of no where's ville. Has been assessed forever at about 4k, last year someone found some yuppy from the coast to pay BIG money for a plot. They just got the county assessment papers last week. 59 THOUSAND DOLLARS !!! Now they get to pay taxes on that assessment because of what it could be worth ... -

Got my first MCM issue
moparmagiclives replied to SuperStockAndy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I got one for the first time not very long ago, lots of great stuff in it. I should just get a subscription, only found one place in the state to get it. It's really kinda neat to see stuff in there and recognize the names from people you've read about or talked to on the forum. -

A little piggy back here, Americans live by excess. Not very many other country's will buy a $50l Dzl pickup to tow the trailer they bought for camping three times each year and then let it set or put it around the rest of the time. ( now I'm not saying that the rule for all truck owners) but i see a lot of this in my day to day job. Trucks, cars, you name it. Heck, I have a boat in my garage I spent 100 bucks on every month last year and only had it out 4 times.......those were four very expensive weekend if you added it up...I don't like to think about it lol -

He kinda has a point here.... I've noticed more then a few times that Andy will chime in with his opinion, be it relevent or not, or even mature. with the only reason why of being " I just do" But I havent noticed anyone asking why he feels this way. If he has ever thought about something the other way, or how he came to that conclusion. I'm not sticking up for any hot heads or trouble makers, but I read some of this stuff, and think that could be my son, and his opinion. Because thats what hes learned and how he was taught, that how he feels. He is a kid, and I'm sure there are plenty more in here that could use a little more advice and guidence and vs. defensive criticism.. Just a thought anyway. -

Try laynig the tape down on something smoot and lint free a few times before you lay it on your parts, should help with the aggresiveness of the tape. I use clear drawer liner for making stenciles for airbrushing things. Its pretty sticky, but way cheaper then real frisket, this seems to help it also. -

I'm not really into Hybrids either, but I can appreciate the work and technology that goes into them, much like 4x4s are to me as well. BUT...this is something those of you that feel "electric cars" dont have a place on the track should check out. http://www.plasmaboyracing.com/whitezombie.php Hot rodding at its finest..... for the new age that is. -

Engine I.D.
moparmagiclives replied to antonesv's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
looks like a Ford Clevland, not a big block. The way the exhaust ports come off the head, maybe some torino kit ? Boss mustang ?
